Peru is Sri Lanka’s third-largest cinnamon market: about US$22.7 million in 2024 (OEC), bought mainly by Lima spice importers and condiment packers. Fresh Ceylon Cinnamon crop typically lands May–November (peeled year-round), see the harvest calendar.

Why source Ceylon Cinnamon from Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka ist die Heimat von echter Zimt (Cinnamomum verum), sweeter, lower in coumarin and far more prized than the cassia sold as “cinnamon” elsewhere. Over 80% of the world’s true cinnamon comes from Sri Lanka, graded by quill quality (Alba, C5 Special, C5) with full traceability to the estate.

Forms & grades: Quills (Alba / C5 Special / C5), quillings, and ground powder. Browse current listings on our Ceylon Cinnamon category page.

Duty & tariff treatment for Peru

There is no trade agreement between Sri Lanka and Peru, so goods from Sri Lanka enter at Peru’s standard (MFN) rate. IGV and the municipal promotion tax are charged on top of the CIF value plus duty.

Standard commercial documents and a certificate of origin from Sri Lanka. Confirm the current rate for your subpartida in the SUNAT tariff.

Always confirm the current rate. Tariffs and preference schemes change. Check your exact HS line in the SUNAT tariff (Arancel de Aduanas), and estimate duty + freight + insurance together with our Rechner für die Gesamtkosten. We don’t publish line-item tariff figures because they move and depend on your precise product and origin proof.

Import requirements for Peru

Typical requirements for bringing Ceylon Cinnamon into Peru include:

  • For Ceylon Cinnamon, check SENASA’s import requirements; dried plant products typically need a SENASA Permiso Fitosanitario de Importación (PFI), obtained by the importer before the goods ship.
  • A Pflanzengesundheitszeugnis from Sri Lanka’s National Plant Quarantine Service (NPQS) meeting the requirements listed on the PFI.
  • Retail-packed product may need DIGESA sanitary registration and Spanish labelling; confirm for your product and pack.
